Project Air Mail is a project that consists of 4 private airstrips that aren't operational in MSFS database. Fly to and from these hidden airstrips in the mountains, explore the wilderness and fly at your own risk.
(Work in progress, releasing and updating as MSFS SDK grows. I also need 3D Artists who work in Blender. Please message me)
Inspired by the 'Flying the Mail in Remote Idaho' article and Trent Palmer flying to these remote strips (Videos 1 / 2 / 3 / 4). This last USPS mail route caters to over a dozen ranches in Idaho. Due to the fact that they don't have any ICAO's in real life, these are fake ICAO's. This route lies in the largest protected wilderness area in the United States, protected by the 'Wild and Scenic Rivers Act' and is surrounded by 2.2 million acres.
Each of these air strips are located deep in the mountains of Idaho located on a private ranches where normal unauthorized civilians cannot enter, only air mail. Custom built from the ground up, everything about this project is catered to bush flying to the steep mountain peaks to a short STOL grass strips where horses and chickens roam the paster. This is what you call a remote farmers life.

I like it! Especially the role play back story you added. Great inspiration!
Flew to Badley Ranch today. Just saw that kink at the beginning of the runway too late. 😅 No chance to ease into a nice flare anymore. But now I know.

Thank you for the kind words. Glad you love all the mini-strips.
A large update should be coming in soon, been on the backlog because of the newest Sim Update. It messed up a few things but it should maybe be out by mid May.
